Israel’s military says it launched strikes on “the heart of Tehran” early Friday, while smoke was seen billowing in the Beirut skyline. President Donald Trump has delayed his threat to obliterate Iran’s energy plants over its effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. He extended the deadline Thursday for the reopening after Wall Street’s worst day since the start of the war. Trump said talks aimed at ending the conflict were going “very well,” despite the fact Iran continues to publicly insist it is not negotiating with the White House. The Iran war has killed thousands and displaced millions across the Middle East.
